So after some investigation, I've found out that this is related to
upstream sharing.
- For evolution, the issue is that upstream uses a versioned template
name (e.g. evolution-3.6.pot), whereas in Ubuntu, to benefit from
message sharing across distro releases, we use an unversioned template
name
I'm pretty sure there are more packages affected then just Evolution and
Orca. For example I see this issue with »gtk-3.0-properties« [1]. This
is fully translated to German upstream in version 3.0 as well as in
later versions.

Looking at it in more detail, it seems that there is not much we can do
with Evolution, other than disabling upstream message sharing and going
back to the traditional way of importing translations with package
uploads. This is due to the upstream template name being versioned [1].
